High Salary W

Nikita Kucherov-Tampa Bay Lightning ($6,600): Kucherov dished out two helpers on Friday night and now has a two-game point streak going. He recently had an eight-game point streak snapped and will look to start a new one tonight. He’s been a great producer for the Lightning and has averaged 3.6 fantasy points a game for his fantasy owners this season. A very favorable matchup with Ottawa awaits him tonight, as the Senators have been the worst team in the league against right wingers. Take Kucherov for your lineup tonight, but expect many others to be thinking the same thing.

Corey Perry-Anaheim Ducks ($6,500): Perry scored his 22nd goal of the season on Friday and now has seven points in his last six games. He’s started to heat up a bit as of late and will look to keep it going tonight against Pittsburgh. Perry hasn’t quite produced as much as his owners would like this year, but things are looking up, as his team has started playing extremely well. Take Perry tonight as a top target at winger.

Mats Zuccarello-New York Rangers ($5,900): Zuccarello picked up an assist on Saturday and now has 20 helpers on the season to go along with his 18 goals. He enters tonight with a two-game point streak with three assists over that stretch. He has four points in his last four games and makes for a fine fantasy start against New Jersey tonight.

High Value W

Tomas Tatar-Detroit Red Wings ($5,000): Tatar is coming off a big game on Saturday in which he scored a goal and added an assist. He now has a three-game point streak and four points in his last five games. Tatar has been a decent source of fantasy points for his owners with an average of 2.8 fantasy points a game so far this season. With limited options tonight, Tatar makes for a good choice.

Ondrej Palat-Tampa Bay Lightning ($4,400): Palat netted two goals on Friday night and earned his fantasy owners a whopping eight points. He’s been playing extremely well lately with three goals and two assists in his last six games. He enters tonight with a two-game point streak and gets a very favorable matchup with Ottawa, a team ranked 30th in points allowed to opposing left wingers. take Palat tonight and save some valuable cap space.

Chris Stewart-Anaheim Ducks ($4,000): Stewart is someone worth taking a chance on tonight due to the fact that there are so few choices for daily fantasy lineups. He was held without a point in has last game but had a three-game point streak going before that. With four points in his last six games, Stewart is becoming relevant in daily fantasy hockey. He definitely presents a bit of a risk, but he certainly has a chance to show up and break out tonight.
